2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Jets took Corley with the first pick of the third round in the 2024 NFL Draft, 65th overall. He had a prolific college career at Western Kentucky, including 29 TDs over the last three seasons while drawing at least 103 targets each year. Corley mostly caught short passes, with his ability to gain yards after the catch being his standout trait. He's even been compared to Deebo Samuel, though a 4.56 40 at his pro day suggests Corley is a step slower than the 49ers' star receiver. The lack of straight-line speed isn't disqualifying, especially given Corley's strength and bulky frame (5-11, 215). The rookie figures to start his career as New York's third or fourth wide receiver, behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams at the very least. Immediate fantasy value thus seems unlikely unless Williams struggles to return from an ACL tear or Wilson misses time with an injury. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Tosses ball away to negate TD
Corley rushed once for 18 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Corley's first NFL carry was memorable for a different reason than he would have liked, as he got into the open field and raced into the end zone but flipped the ball out of his hand as he was crossing the goal line, and a review revealed that the ball left his hand prior to crossing the goal line. It then rolled out of the back of the end zone for a touchback. The 2024 third-round draft pick has just one target in his NFL career, and while Corley showed some promising ability in the open field on his lone touch Thursday, careless mental errors won't ingratiate him with the Jets' coaching staff.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Route running needs improvement
Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Corley has a "long way to go" with his route running, but the rookie will have plenty of opportunities to demonstrate improvement over the next two weeks as the Jets' primary slot option while Xavier Gipson recovers from a leg injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Friday brought bittersweet news for Corley, who is competing with Gipson for the slot receiver role. Corley doesn't seem to have refined his route running at Western Kentucky, putting the 2024 third-round draft pick in an early hole in this training camp competition, but Gipson's injury could open the door for Corley to earn the coaching staff's trust and develop a rapport with Aaron Rodgers in training camp.
